Ingredients

Directions

Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High, using the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades.

In 1 minute, you will hear a high pitched chugging sound. Once the butter begins to flow freely through the blades, the motor sound will change from a high pitch to a low laboring sound. Stop machine.

Store in an airtight container. It can also be frozen for longer storage.

Notes

Caution: Over processing will cause overheating to your machine. Do not process for more than 1 minute after mixture starts circulating freely. For recipe variation, see Cashew Nut Butter and Almond Butter recipes.

How many peanuts?Hi, I just got a Vitamix and started using it a few days ago. I would like to clarify how many grams of peanuts I need...the cookbook that came with the machine says 440 grams but this online recipe says 420 grams. I used 440g. Mine was really thick but I was afraid to keep the machine running, as it seemed to have trouble getting to the "freely flowing" stage described in the instructions and I was afraid it would overheat. I ended up putting the very thick mixture in my food processor and that made it creamy and smooth. Any thoughts? Maybe I used too many peanuts? I'm going to try again, but didn't know if anyone else had these issues? Thank you!

Amazing peanut butterI've had my vitamix for about a week and a few days now. I use it almost every day sometimes more than once a day. Yesterday I made this peanut butter and once it was done I added 3/4 tsp sea salt and 1 1/2 tbsp organic honey. It came out creamy and delicious. Best peanut butter I have ever had! I even drove some to my parents house and they loved it. Since I don't eat peanut butter all the time I can easily make it when ever I want it. Lots of room for customization.

OMG! better than store bought Peanut butter - andA heck of a lot cheaper and simply delicious! Made smooth peanut butter from salted roasted peanuts- I added maybe a tablespoon of canola oil for smoothness to 2 cups of nuts- that is it I followed instructions and it came out buttery smooth and delicious.
Bought the Costco- Kirkland super extra large roasted and salted 2.5 lb - tested with 2 cups I am going to try adding some honey for sweetness - let you all know how it comes out - next up Almond butter! Stay tuned and this time I'll post a video -

I'm in love with my Vitamix!I bought this about 6 weeks ago and I love it. I loved it before I paid for it. I loved it after my first smoothie, after my first soup, ice cream, fruit sorbet, chopped veggies, flour and now peanut butter. What other appliance can do all that, I've not met one. I'd love to be a sales person, I've already sold three of these and not made a cent, probably a few dollars for a salesperson.

peanut butterI bought my Vitamix a week ago, this is the first time I have used the container, (I bought the single smoothy attachment and have used it daily, really awesome!). I have owned a Vitamix for at least 10 years and decided to upgrade. I make peanut butter a lot, this was great! I used to have to add oil, but I tried the recipe online without oil in the 48 oz container it perfectly! It came out so smooth everything happened as explained in the recipe. It flowed out of the container into my jars and the cleanup was easy! Love the small container as it's easier to clean and I'm a single senior! Love Vitamix, I've been a Vegatarian over 30 yrs, Vitamix is a must, it creates healthy and fabulous tasting "fast food"!!!

Jar DamagedMy jar was damaged, presumably from overheating before the peanuts started to circulate. The blade assembly began spinning freely and peanut butter started leaking out of the bottom of the machine. The jar appears to be permanently warped.

Clean UpThe peanut butter I made turned out great, even though I just used regular peanuts instead of roasted ones. But the cleanup required a bit of elbow grease to get down, since some of the peanut butter stuck to the container and the part under the blade even after I blended for a minute at 10 with soapy water.
